I have a cheap electric oven cooker. metal on the outside. i'd rather
be sure it's safe before turning it on and touching it.. Or finding
out a bad way. It's not the heat that bothers me. It's the possibility
of getting electrocuted.
if it helps, i'll mention that i have a multimeter.

Use an ohm meter put one wire from the ohm meter on one side of the
plug and there other wire from the ohm meter to the metal on the oven
you should get no reading if its ok and then do the same thing with
the other side of the plug.- Hide quoted text -
It's a 3 prong plug.. i don't know what it means but i think the top
prong is ground.
anyhow... i have the 2 wires from my multimeter. red and black. I put
the red to the appliance and the black to a prong. Then to the other
prong. Then the wires the other way.. black on appliance, red on a
prong.
i actually have a picture that illustrates that on th back of my
multimeter i got from maplin. as one of the things i can do with it!
I get 0 on the multimeter, but i got 0 before. So i guess it passes
the test. assuming i did the test right. But since an OK shows
nothing, it's not that convincing 'cos it could be that i haven't
tested it right.
